Yep. The average HSI agent knows they have to get charges to stick in front of a federal judge and is trained accordingly.
The average ERO officer knows that case law says that anything they write in their arrest reports is by law presumed to be accurate in immigration court, and acts accordingly.

HSI agents undergo a lot more training than ERO ones as well, if I understand correctly. ERO is 13 or 16 weeks, depending who you ask, while HSI takes the same Criminal Investigator Training as various other federal LEAs, plus specialized training, and that takes six months.
